Hi guys,
Thanks for the suggestions.
It really is a domino effect...4" to 5" to 8" to 10"......!
I think the long focal length of the 10" would bring me new problems with tracking, flexure and mounts.
Living in Sydney, portability is a very important factor. Wayne, you mentioned the lack of clear nights in Sydney. We get away to Coonabarabran every couple of months where we have been lucky with clear nights. The portability of our equipment allows us to do this.
Greg, the QHY8L has 7.8um square pixels. My M110 refractor has a focal length of 655mm. The Vixen is 800mm and the WO132 is just over 900mm.
Trevor, how is your 8" F4 performing with the new camera?
I think the WO132 is starting to look the best compromise for me.
Thanks again for your help and advice.
Ross.
